Feel sorry for these ICL players. Quite talented but somewhere overshadowed in the IPL hurricane. I often wonder how good it would have been if the players like Stuart Binny, Vignesh, R Satish, Ambati Rayudu had played in the ICL....not to forget the versatile foreign players of ICL.

The last ICL tournament had some great matches. Also the Lahore Badshah's added to the competition by dominating most of the matches and thus creating a desire for other teams to beat them. I only wish they got the big stadiums as once promised earlier. That would have definitely worked for them.

Guys, Lets all be positive about ICL.
The next version of ICL this september is the most important series for ICL, coz for the first time it will come after IPL's launch. They wont back down very easily and I am very positive that coming ICL will be much better than present IPL with "official" tag and also playing in regular stadiums and also Exclusive Intl.Club teams from Australia, England, WI, NZ just like LahoreBadshahs in last edition.
Hey all you ardent fans of IPL, there wouldnt have been your IPL, had ICL was not started.
But I would like to see coming version of ICL much better coz thats like deciding over of the match (a match played between innovation=ICL, xerox-copy=IPL).
Did you see, so many smart Indian sponsors have opted out of IPL and are waiting to see ICL with "official tag".
Last word, ICL conducts cricket-show better than IPL and IPL conducts nude-show better than ICL. THIS IS A SERIOUS FACT.
